Title: Techniques for removing a contaminant layer from a thermal barrier coating and estimating remaining life of the coating
Inventor: HASSAN WALED T
IPC: G01N21/71
Filed: 2010-11-16
Abstract: Systems and techniques are disclosed for removing contaminants from a surface of a thermal barrier coating (TBC) and, optionally, estimating the remaining lifetime of the TBC. Laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is one method that may be used to remove contaminants from a surface the TBC prior to performing photo luminescence piezo spectroscopy (PLPS) or another spectroscopic technique on a thermally grown oxide (TGO). LIBS may facilitate monitoring substantially in real-time the chemical composition of the material removed. LIBS may be used to remove substantially only the contaminants with minimal effects on the underlying TBC. One technique for determining when to stop removal of material from the TBC is cross-correlation between a spectrum collected from the ablated material and a reference spectrum collected from a reference substrate. In some embodiments, the same system may be used to perform LIBS to remove impurities and PLPS to measure stress in the TGO.

Abstract: Method of conversion of heat into fluid power includes pumping of the working liquid into a hydropneumatic accumulator with gas compression, subsequent gas expansion with displacement of the working liquid from the other accumulator as well as supply of heat to the gas by transferring the gas through the hotter heat exchanger and removal of heat from the gas by transferring the gas through another, colder heat exchanger performed so that the average temperature of the gas during expansion is higher than that during compression, wherein the gas is transferred between different accumulators through said heat exchangers. The device for conversion of heat into fluid power includes at least two accumulators, the means for liquid supply and intake as well as the means for heating and cooling containing at least two flow-type gas heat exchangers installed with the possibility of gas transfer through them between gas reservoirs of different accumulators.

Inventor: CAWIEZEL KAY C
IPC: C09K8/74
Filed: 2004-07-16
Abstract: A method of acidizing a subterranean formation with a diverting agent composed of a gelled or thickened viscoelastic foam or fluid generated from (i.) an amidoamine oxide gelling agent and (ii.) an acid or foam, water and/or brine. The gelled or thickened foam or fluid may be generated in-situ or introduced directly into the formation by mixing of the amidoamine oxide gelling agent and acid or foam, water and/or brine. As the acid spends, the acidizing fluid thickens. When the acid is further spent, the fluid viscosity declines eventually returning to a low viscosity state, allowing for easy cleanup. The process allows for selective acidizing of less permeable zones of the formation and more uniform stimulation of the hydrocarbon bearing formation.
